Hey everyone, Entirely unrelated to pools, but I could use your assistance nonetheless. A camera product company is running a contest to name their newest product, and my entry is one the Top Twelve being voted on to win. As of right now, I'm ahead but the competition is stiff, so I could use...

Hello everybody, Our resort had a new indoor hot tub built a few months ago and I've been having a couple issues with it. Ours is the only multi-tier hot tub in the whole state, and now I know why, this thing is a pain! The pH is constantly on the rise due to the aeration of the three...

I know you shouldn't adjust your CH and Alkalinity (with sodium bicarbonate) within 24 hours of each other, or so I've read. Is the same applicable to using soda ash to adjust pH and raising calcium? I adjusted the pH this morning using sodium carbonate, but would like to raise the CH after...
